The pattern was clear and easy to follow. I prepared an old child’s wool sweater per the instructions and used pieces for the toe. These are the red boots from the comic book series Hilda and Twig (Hilda’s boots). I also cut off the bottoms of water-shoes and sewed them to the bottom of the boots… to make them more useable. I wasn’t sure if suede or leather would be too slippery or thin. For the soles I used pieces of old jeans and hand stitched the rubber bottoms to them. I think it turned out. Thank you. I plan on making winter house slippers next time. Will make a cozy present for my mom.
The Epoch pocket is easy, fast and fun to sew and is so customizable. It’s a great scrap buster and the perfect canvas for embroidery or applique. It’s also so practical and adds a bit of flourish to any outfit.
Twig + Tale’s patterns taught me to embroider, so it’s only fitting that they also helped bring my embroidery to the next level. I love the detail in the Secret Garden Embroidery Handbook. It really covers everything and can be applied to so much, even beyond embroidery. The included pattern helps you feel like your hand is being held, but the guide provides so much theory and technique that its easy to branch out and create your own designs.
It took a while to blend sizes and to sew it all, but I really enjoyed this project and am now enjoying my lightweight linen jacket.
I enjoyed making the blouse for a friend and so immediately made another one for myself, it came together very quickly and easily.
